<p>The new restaurant is called Hen House Eatery and it will specialize in breakfast, catering and delivery. Hen House will have a liquor license with four different kinds of local craft beer on tap, but it plans to keep it simple on the cocktail side.</p>
<p>“We’re not going to have a mixologist, nothing too fancy,” said Tara Koenig, who will own and operate the restaurant along with Barbara Gardiner and Maribel Cuadros-Perrault.</p>
<p>Hen House will open at 6:30 a.m. and close at eight or nine at night, although Koenig said they will remain open late for private events and catering aimed at the big corporations housed downtown.</p>
<p>“We have relations with a lot of the larger companies downtown, we’ve been serving them for the last 20 years, so it’s a comfortable space for us,” said Koenig.</p>
<p>The menu will also feature burgers, appetizers, salads and desserts, with an emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients. Breakfast is available all day.</p>
<p>The ground floor space of the US Trust Building at 730 2<sup>nd</sup> Ave. S. was occupied by Peter’s Grill for 99 years before shutting down last summer.</p>
<p>Hen House will have the capacity for 260 people, and an outdoor patio housing six tables along 8<sup>th</sup> St. is also planned.</p>
